[Q] Kernels - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

What is a kernel? Why are there so many? Which one should I use? I am currently running Hyperdrive RLS 7 with TW Stock Optimized kernel. I just don't understand. Info would be greatly appreciated.

Basically a kernel is the software that interfaces with the hardware. There are "so many" because different developers cook in different features like the ability to overclock or underclock,etc. Faux kernel has faux sound, ktoonsez kernel has ktweaker. Don't really know much about chronic kernel. I usually like to use ktoonsez, but apparently faux has better hardware support at the moment (because of the update we haven't gotten yet). So really it's up to you which you want to use

You need to start her...for sure...

it is the same concept for all the G4.

Thanks for that

What's the difference between AOKP-glitched and a rom flashed with the glitch kernel?

instead of creating a new thread, I'd edit my old one and ask this question.
I was just curious what the big differences are really. Thanks and sorry for all the idiotic questions.

Remember, after flashing modems. Dial *22891 and let it update your roaming. Then reboot.

Glitched aokp. Has the newest things. The glitch kernel it comes with is actually newer than the one you can download separately. And also has improvements that cant easily be done without building the 2 around eachother. From what i gather, when the devs started glitched aokp and the bigmem ram mod they made a considerable device fork from other aosp Roms on our phone. Making some of the included stuff incompatible with other roms, like ths.
Just think of glitched aokp as the bleeding edge for this phone.

Some specifics
Bigmem
Jpeg turbo
Call volume script
Hybrid ui (being worked out)
The new fancy recovery (coming soon)
For starters.

Sub zero or chimera kernel?

I'm now running ics chimera and its awesome, but I loved the subzero kernel on IcZen , but I don't know if the chimera 1.3 kernel is better. Help me decide on which one.

I am using SubZero on MIUIv4 by 360 Productions and it is absolutely the fastest kernel i have used, not to mention it has fast charge, BLN, kenel level file explorer, kernel level clock and volt controls, kernel level ROM controls, and support CWM Recovery+Touch. Basically my phone has great battery life, great speed, and great goodies using SubZero
Subzero definitely in my opinion ^^
That or Devil is pretty nifty with the control app

yeah i like Devil
Right now I'm running the devil kernel on my chimera ROM and its awesome with the 6.0. Based recovery, I may try sub zero after cause I used it when I was on Zen, and I'm thinking to revert.

Both are awesome, no doubt. I'm a huge subzero fan...but occasionally I'll run devil.

Which faux kernel, m or u??

I was going to flash faux kernel and see there are two versions for Verizon. There is a u and m.
Which one is for us Verizon users??
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
Both are. U is the ultimate. Which allows for over clocking. While the m is the stable version with no over clocking.

Read the original post. It tells you right away. M is mainstream for the mainstream peoples who don't tweak much. U is the ultimate with overclocking/tweaking abilities.
M= No CPU overclocking
U= CPU Overclocking
Simple as that and nothing else is different.

N.E.A.K. Kernel setups??

I am using the NEAK Kernel on the Illusion ROM. Any setup settings for kernel that are incredible? Not new to flashing or romming or rooting just looking for opinions so don't wanna hear none that noob junk.

Hey is that kernel overckock capable and can I use it on pac man 4.3?
Nope, 4.2 kernels don't work with 4.3
Sent from my VZW Note II using XDA DEV
NEAK is generally built around installing and letting it do it's thing. The engine app has modes you can select that do most of the work. Honestly I just let it do it's thing and it's fine. Now the sounds app is another story.

I am running neak on carbon ROM. And let me tell you, its a beast. I installed the uneak engine app and chose the battery saver option and I have been getting at least 7 hours screen time and around 18 hours total time. Thats under heavy use. If into light I'm sure I could get a day or two.

Actually.....I've got N.E.A.K. running on Paranoid Android 4.3 Alpha without a hitch. I figured I'd give it a shot and see if it boots, and to my surprise, it does and worked. I reverted back to 4.2.2 because of some other graphics anomalies which were outlined in the CM and PA threads.
I just switched to alliance rom recently and and need to find the link to the most updated neak kernel again anyone with link info?

I seriously recommend Eclipse TW 2.0 by nitro. My favorite ROM by far. Imagine a ROM that looks like AOSP, even the status bar, but has all of the nifty TouchWiz features. And if you use Ktoonz's recommended setting, you also get amazing battery life. I love this ROM. Snappy too.

Yeah, I was originally on build one or two, then went back to the aosp with touch wiz stability 2.0. But, I really like this build. Really runs good.

There are plenty of awesome ROMs available. Ultimately, you'll just have to try a few that grab your attention and see what is best for you. I bounced around between many of the TW ROMs before I finally landed on CM 10.1.3 RC2 and I'm very happy with it. See what works for you, TW vs AOSP then find the ROM that you like most.
There's a bunch of factors to consider, the first and most important is what you like, we're all different!
FWIW, I've tried BoneStock and Hyperdrive, they're both very good ROMS but I always go back to CM 10.2 because it does everything I want, it works to perfection and I have some apps that won't play nice with TouchWiz ROMs. Battery life is adequate for me.
As always, YMMV!
